This is not an example of a great bar, but if you look at the carbs, not many come from sugar. They can label the other carbs as non-impacting because they come from sugar alcohol(listed as glycerin), which is not supposed to affect your insulin levels.(but I have heard it dehydrates your stomach)
The protein blend is decent, except for the hydrolyzed gelatin, but the casein and soy and whey each have their own merits.
If I was on a desert island and it was this bar or a big mac.. I gues I might choose the bar. But that is what they make these for, emergencies. I find if I have a bar in my car or purse and the unexpected time comes up where I am starving and not near one of my pre-made meals (the horror!) that a bar keeps me from going completely off my diet. I don't, however use the xenadrine bras, so I can't vouch for them.
i am sure bbfit will have a good breakdown of all the ingredients.
Fat is not the foe to dieters that people think it is. You need fats in your diet, granted it would be better if they didn't come as saturated fat, but some fat is necessary.
Most of the ongredients at the end of the list are vitamins.
Anyhow, that is my 2 cents worth. I guess i could go online and search all of the ingredients and give you a more 'expert' opinion....
